This week, Lamonf has floor in Miami and continued the place he left off. He defeated Fabian Marozsan on Wednesday, 6-3, 3-6, 6-4, to ebook a second-round match with Jiri Lehecka.
“I made it exhausting [for him],” Monfils mentioned after levelling his head-to-head with Marozsan. “I hit with a bit extra depth in my pictures and didn’t let him dictate and I feel I did properly.” By doing so Monfils turns into the second oldest man to win a match in Miami.
Solely the good Jimmy Connors has received a Miami Open foremost draw match at an older age. The American received on the age of 39 in Key Biscayne in 1992.
Monfils, who will flip 39 on September 1, is 12-4 on the season. The previous World No.6
